    Does anyone have one they really like? I want to get one for my 07. Which fabric did you go with..or which do you think fits best...and can you tell me where you got it?

    We don't have a garage and within 4 years the dash on my last car cracked, from sitting in the sun.

    Thanks!

    I can't remember seeing dashmats unless someone just made something from a towel or some other fabric. You might have to fabricate your own. That might actually be a good idea since you'd be able to design every aspect of it.

    I have a DashDesigns installed on my '04. It fits very well. I can't speak to installation since I live in the same city and they installed it at no chage. The material is the triple velour, and is what I would recommend. The carpet material (Foss Fibre carpet) looks too much like carpet (go figure). Their website is at www.dashdesigns.com.

    Good luck,
    Dave

    I have one made by DashTopper. I ordered it from the Toyota dealer, rather than their website, as it was cheaper. Also, the dealer had samples so you could see what would work best. From what I understand, if you order directly from DashTopper, you can have them do some custom work. For example, you can have them extend the material over the MFD more so it can act as a sun hood.

    What I did was go to a Toyota dealer and asked if they could order a Dashtopper. They could get it cheaper as they have a volume discount. It arrived and I put it on myself. It took just a few minutes. Maybe I could've customized (like adding letters), but I didn't.

    Thanks. Do you recommend that I don't order it online then? I'm confused...some sites have Prius options for thier custom dash covers (alot don't)..but you guys say yours were installed.....I was hoping I could order something and just slap it on.
